Thursday January 5th, Nature Walk

HI Tribe,

We will be meeting at Fossil Ridge Reservoir at 10am for a nature walk. We will be walking the sandpiper trail because the CAttail trail is closed for protection of the Bald Eagles that roost in the winter!! Bring binoculars  if you have them hopefully we can see some bald eagles!!!

Happy Trails,
Angela

Bobcat Ridge Natural Area

It was a beautiful day. The views are gorgeous the air so fresh and crisp. This is what winter is all about! The kids didn't complain about being cold they where dressed in the snow suits, gloves,hats and scarves and where having a great time. A park ranger came for a hike and was so impressed at the kids out playing and having fun and mainly that we were out enjoying this amazing day Making amazing memories with our children!!! as they say there is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothes!!

So I am going to go off track abit but, my son will be starting Kindergarten this fall and well all I hear is how things are going to change well i want to make the most of everyday and all weather before all of that changes. Of course we head out and do family trips but these memories he is having out with other friends is so important. The relationship at their age that they are creating with nature is priceless. I treasure these moments and take it all in with a huge inhale of fresh crisp winter air. I love that I have a community that wants to get out and enjoy these beautiful days together making memories. It truly fills my physically, mentally and spiritually!!

We got to track many different animal tracks. Which was fun trying to figure out which ones are which. They were following a mouse track then it would disappear and they would see the burrowing of the mouse in the snow then up again for tracks very cool and very fun!! We saw many Bobcat tracks to follow around. We were really scouting for a Bobcat but no luck today.

Look at the blue sky, beautiful snow and precious kids playing and hiking.

The tree speaks such old wisdom out there baring its soul.

Just Gorgeous

Really cool birdsnest in the barn.

Good-bye, and Happy snow Trails,

Angela

Looking forward to seeing many of you out soon .

Some Winter Pictures.

Nature, simple beauty

Environmenal Learning Center nature hike

Cold, but such a beautiful hike. This is such a lovely area when of my favourites around town. Thank you to the families that made it out.. and enjoyed this walk.

I love winter shadows. It is such a wonderful time of year for shadow playing and viewing. Especially the trees with no leaves and all the shapes and lines. BEAUTY

Always have to have time for play and exploration.

Tracking animals. So much fun. This is a wonderful place to go early morning before any other hikers after snow to see the many different track marks.

some fierce animals hiding by the tree.

Such simply perfect art! Amazing the frost on the water was breath taking.

Good-bye and Happy snow Trails.

hugs,

Angela
